Description

We call us NoSmokeNearZurich because we really only want to host nonsmokers. Some guests went for a walk well away from the house whenever they had to smoke, and that was ok for us.

! Please be so kind and send me a message to introduce yourself before you book, thank you! If you have found us via this website then we also expect that you book via this site. We won't try to contact you directly.

In our house in Maur near Zürich we have two guestrooms for travellers. Our old house is very basic and worn out. There are some steep stairs that may be a problem for heavy people. We all share the same bathroom, and nobody smokes inside. The house is not suitable for everybodys taste, but many artists and creative people have felt quite well here during their stay with us. If you are coming with an expensive car, then it is almost sure that you won't like it at our place.

You will get a clean room with freshly made beds. We also give fresh towels. However we do not iron our washings. The rest of the house is often a bit caotic.

Maur is still a farming village, 35 minutes by tram and bus from the main train station of Zurich (12km east, at a lake opposite of Uster)

Local attractions
- pretty village with 4 restaurants and small castle of XII century
- 5 minute walk through the fields to the lake, or 4 hours around it
- free Internet access at PC in room and open wireless (if it works)
- bicycles that need to be repaired first

House rules

- Use the shower reasonably as supply of hot water has to last for all.
- No smoking inside the house, also not at the open window.
- Pets by arrangement.
- Please be so kind and send me a message to introduce yoursefl before you book, thank you

Best is you come to us without car, because the neighbour has a fence that had been repaired many times for a lot of money and that has cause car repairs for even more money.

Reviews for this host's other properties

Very charming location and a nice nest. In addition, we sometimes had really nice neighbors on the roof. It would slow again some things to be renovated. Nevertheless, we have (after almost 3 weeks) really enjoyed the stay. People who need a quiet place to sleep would be a mistake here. The Ramblas and demanding tourists can be heard until dawn. The city is great and very complex. Recommended on each case.

Was a nice stay. The name "Old House" has its place, as well as host a special Charme.Reinhard has is nice and unkomplziert. With great summer weather we could even sit in the garden. Thanks Rainer and family

We stopped here for a few nights in June whilst visiting our Son who had just moved to Zurich. The house itself is a very old house, with very basic facilities, but it was clean, and everything worked. It met our expectations, and suited our needs. Maur is pretty village with a number of shops and eating places. The lake is only a short stroll from the house. If you are the sort of person who prefers 4 star hotels then this is not for you, but if you don't mind mixed up old furniture, the odd creaking floor board, and if you need an affordable place to rest your head for a few days within range of Zurich you will be happy here ( we were ).

We were two of us in this small old house, so we could at five sleeping occasions the best choose, we slept well and felt very comfortable, it has very reminiscent of our childhood, we have become bauerngründstück great on a, it had everything you need for life requires available, a comfortable bed, water, a well equipped kitchen, everything was clean and tidy and even a internett connection, great, also very nice and helpful, so who loves rural and rustic, to recommend quartier father very

The apartment is exactly as described by Reinhard! Not perfect, everything somehow temporarily "homegrown", partly ancient, but all in working order and clean enough! Upon arrival, a little musty, but once you dispose of the fractured, not edible food the previous tenant and ventilated, that's almost gone! The kitchen is equipped with everything necessary, the apartment features a whole is large, even a small hairdryer with adapter was in the apartment! Very pleasant terrace with a view over the rooftops of Barcelona. Relatively quiet, considering how loud and hectic things get down on the doorstep! So great central location this apartment, very tourist area! The apartment is ideal for those who want to stay very central for relatively little money and do not have big claims. I could only stay two days because I had to stop early because of my sick friend! Reinhard refund me even a small portion of the cost! Very very nice! Thank you again!

The old house is stripped from luxery, basic XL, but this place doesn't need it!
The beds are good and the vibe is relaxed. The owner (Reinhard) is a very friendly man. We had dinner in a very good Thai takeaway restaurant, just 5 minutes walking from the house. Although Maur isn't an exciting place to be, it is a good place to start your trips to cities in Switserland. We enjoyed Rapperswil and Chur and when we returned to the house in Maur, it was always a pleasure to be there again. We will come back!

Hello, We had a great stay in the maision Reinhard, simple but friendly house, children are very happy, we would like to go back and enjoy the sun at the lake. A very quiet place, a question for the garbage was not found on the premises, soon Thanks

The attic is really very simple, but brilliant to the position. Immediately on the subway, on the sea, the Gothic Quarter, what more could you want. In Calle Ferran, you get everything, even bread on Sunday morning. And the view from the roof terrace (to the Sagrada Familia, Tibidabo, Montjuic and sea) is fantastic. Especially when you can sit outside, it is gorgeous. Since we had at Easter a little fresh air, 4 chairs inside would not have been bad. But the plastic chairs outside of it did then and for this one time
